Sugar Orchids for Cakes by Alan Dunn

Exotic, beautiful, delicate orchids capture the imagination and provide simple style. Inspired by the wide range of blooms now available, three sugarcraft experts now show you how to recreate these lovely, ethereal flowers as cake decorations.

Celebrating the diversity of orchids from around the world, the flowers vary from vibrant red to subtle pink and the most striking pure white. Familiar favorites are combined with unusual, lesser known orchid varieties to provide a wealth of choice for every occasion.

Inside this cake decorating book are over 20 projects that provide ideas for sprays, bouquets, pots, and table arrangements. The orchids decorate a range of celebration cakes from the traditional and contemporary wedding cakes to christening cakes, anniversary cakes and seasonal projects, such as Christmas and springtime.

Complementary blooms, such as lace-cap hydrangea, spiky leucadendron, Mexican blue flower, glorious passionflower and pink gaura flowers, are included to enhance the orchid displays.

Sugar Orchids for Cakes is a stunning book with beautiful images and clear detailed instructions, making it a must-have for all sugar flower makers looking for up-to-the-minute ideas on creating and displaying fashionable orchids.
